Community Based Learners

Students each get a digital copy of the activity. There is a PDF grocery store flyer linked in the Google Slides for them to use to find the prices. They need to search the flyer for the items that are already chosen. They will need to write the cost next to it and figure out the total cost for each category. Depending on the students and ability levels, I may allow them to use calculators for this. For higher students, I make them add the total cost for each category to find the total cost of t

You'll need to have grocery store weekly circulars for this activity. I save the ones I get in the mail each week and bring them to school so I always have a stockpile. Students each get a grocery store flyer. They cut & paste items to fit each category. They will need to write the cost next to it and figure out the total cost for each category. Depending on the students and ability levels, I may allow them to use calculators for this. I like this activity because students have to de

Students will sort the pictures of recyclable items into the correct envelope or bag. I use this as an independent work task during our vocational stations time. Our city makes us pay for trash bags, but allows unlimited recycling. Understanding what can be recycled is an important skill to have, especially in order to save money! Note: Depending on what state you live in, you might not need a redeemable envelope. Those pictures can still be laminated and will be sorted into the appropriate

Students will use the next dollar up method with Thanksgiving themed grocery store items with price tags up to $20. There are $1 bills only for drag and drop.  2 levelsLevel 1: 36 items with visual number line Level 2: 36 items without a number line

Students need to use a grocery store flyer to shop for an entire Thanksgiving meal. Each category has pictures straight from the grocery store flyer. I used Market Basket this week, but almost all of these items are also for sale in Shaws and Stop & Shop, as well. I made it a Word document, so you can easily replace the images if you want! I've also included a link to a PDF of the flyer on the last page of the document. Just a heads up, but Market Basket does have a Beer and Wine section i

Students go from station to station to practice their money skills. At each station, students get a new wallet. First, they have to count the money in their wallet. Then, they have to determine how much change they will get back. There are three levels of stations for this activity: stations for dollar amounts only, dollars and/or coins to $20, and dollars and coins to $100. I have included a sheet with the money for each station. There is an answer key for every set of 10 stations. Sometimes,

I use this as an independent work station for my students to practice their money skills. Their job is to take any card, select the appropriate coins and/or bills, and insert them all into an envelope for checking later. To make this accessible for my lowest students, they have a coin amounts sheet, available in this download, to help them work on coin identification and amounts. I have play money that I use, but I have included money that you can print out if needed. Print as many sheets as

To make this activity last longer, you may want to laminate the pictures of food. I cut out all of the pictures of food and have them mixed up in a pencil box. Students are given envelopes labeled with the category and a picture of what it might look like in a grocery store. Their job is to sort the pictures of food into the correct envelope. It may be easier for students with fine motor skills issues to use brown paper bags instead of envelopes. I use this activity as an independent stat

Students each get a digital copy of the activity. There are 3 levels of this activity. There is a PDF grocery store flyer linked in the Google Slides for them to use to find the prices to shop for an entire Thanksgiving meal. Each category has pictures straight from the grocery store flyer. I used Market Basket (just a FYI, the flyer does have a "Beer and Wine" section if you click the PDF). They will need to write the cost next to it and figure out the total cost for each category. Depending o

Students are able to practice identifying bills and coins by name and value (one dollar/$1/$1.00 etc). On the Slides activity, students move the red circle over the answer. On the Form, students choose the correct answer. Includes Google Slides Activity and Google Forms

Provide all teachers and staff that work with a student a snapshot of the IEP. Fully editable.

I assign this activity in Google Classroom. Students are able to practice identifying bills by name and value. Students move the red circle over the answer.

Students will choose whichever thing they like better. I have students walk to either the left or right side of the room to choose. Students who just absolutely will not pick stand in the middle. For example, dogs or cats will be displayed on the board. Students/staff who like dogs better go to the left, students/staff who like cats better go to the right. It’s a great movement break, and it let’s us see what things we have in common with our classmates. Plus, it's fun!

Students sort clothing by body part. They work on recognizing similar attributes that form a group and can build basic clothing recognition and vocabulary.

Students use the attached images from a weekly flyer to choose gifts for family/friends. They have a budget of $200 and must buy 6 items.

Students can work independently or in groups to research a current events article. Their job is to find an article and write a summary of the news item. The worksheet helps them gather the important information to share with the class. It also helps them reflect on why the story is important enough to be news worthy.

A fun social skills activity where we discuss which choice we would rather make and why. This is a Google Slides activity with pictures of two choices.

For my students who are better at math, I use this instead of the store circular cut and paste. I like to use this activity for independent work when I unexpectedly have to stop teaching (need to talk to someone, handle a behavior, etc.). This activity works best with the larger stores, such as home improvement stores and department stores. I have a separate activity that I use for the grocery store flyers.
